About MYL9

Cytogenetic location: 20q11.23 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 20:36,541,519-36,551,447 (from NCBI)

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 231 orthologues, 7 paralogues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Broad expression in prostate (RPKM 922.2), urinary bladder (RPKM 715.8) and 17 other tissues.

Summary

Myosin, a structural component of muscle, consists of two heavy chains and four LIGHT chains. The protein encoded by this gene is a Myosin light chain that may regulate muscle contraction by modulating the ATPase activity of Myosin heads. The encoded protein binds calcium and is activated by Myosin light chain kinase. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
